"Left Foot Charley is a relatively new winery in Traverse City, Michigan. Owner/winemaker Bryan Ulbrich has spent the last decade feeding an obsession around Northern Michigan's fantastic white wines. In that time he has crafted some of the most acclaimed wines East of that other Left Coast - you know they call it Cali-something- they grow great avocados there. In 2004, he helped rejuvenate a friend's struggling Riesling vineyard and created 200 cases of his first wine under the LFC label. He and his wife Jennifer are in the midst of creating Northern Michigan's first urban winery in the center of the historic Northern Michigan Asylum now known as The Village. Ulbrich has quietly gathered the region's top small vineyards and showcases them in a new facility that opened in July 2007.
